Pilot night vision system (PNVS). Infrared sensors mounted on the nose of helicopters provide a monochromatic video image of the outside scene ... constructed from differences in the temperatures of objects in the environment. The system may be used at night when ambient light levels are low or during the day to "see" through blowing dust, smog, smoke or concealing foliage. 2, record 1, English, - pilot%20night%20vision%20system

TADS/PNVS comprises two independently-functioning subsystems: the TADS (Target Acquisition and Designation Sight), to enhance the battle effectiveness of the AAH helicopter, and Pilot Night-Vision Sensor (PNVS), to allow the pilot to navigate at night. It provides the helicopter crew with advanced electro-optical hardware to search out, recognize and engage enemy targets at standoff ranges during day or night and in limited adverse weather. 1, record 2, English, - Pilot%20Night%2DVision%20Sensor
